ALL 6 DAHABIYAS ARE MADE IN EGYPT.

Passengers may be interested to know that our dahabiyyat have been hand-crafted using the same methods and specifications that guided Nile shipbuilders for generations. We wished to support and preserve not only the art of shipbuilding, but a variety of traditional crafts for which Egypt was once celebrated. Wherever possible, we've used locally manufactured goods, and are proud to say that not only our ships, but much of their furnishings, are 'made in Egypt '.

Our ships were furnished with English, French and Egyptian period furniture. Some pieces were found in the treasure trove of Cairo 's markets or souks . Others were locally crafted in neo-pharaonic, European or oriental styles to create an onboard atmosphere reminiscent of Egypt 's rich and varied past. Likewise, from the tea cups to the towels onboard, we've sought to offer a glimpse of local handiwork, its unique aesthetic and superb quality. We'd like to call your attention to some of workmanship and the people behind it.
